And that's not just with Marriott, but with all chain hotels booked through Egencia. As long as I select one of those rates, I've always gotten points and my Marriott Rewards number has almost always been attached (and the one or two times it wasn't, a quick call to Marriott fixed it.)
Thanks for the feedback LoganFlyer. To be clear - are you seeing room rates for Marriott properties that specifically say they DO earn points?
I haven't seen that for Marriott, Hilton or Sheraton properties that I've tried to book so far. Wondering if this is some sort of limitation on the part of my company that is causing this. The only time I noticed a room rate where it specifically said it was possible to earn points was when booking a Hyatt property.
I'd really rather not switch loyalty programs and I'd even rather less switch to Hyatt if I have to switch... I just can't stand the idea of letting all those stays go to waste.
